Will you be my bridesmaid?

I wanted to make my bridesmaids feel special - so I gave them a small gift basket as a unique way to ask them to be apart of the bridal party. I had 7 different items in the basket that each identified a part of the wedding process I'd need them for (or they'd need for themselves).

A Boa: "To one kick-ass BACHELORETTE party!"
- Cut a piece of the boa ribbon (about 1 foot in length)
- I added in some pink beads to give it a fun flare
- On the tag, I added in kiss lips for decoration and a special touch.
- Tie the bag in the middle of the boa and beads and your bachelorette gift is ready to go!

Advil: "For the little headaches I may give you. (I will try not to be a bridezilla!)"
- travel size advil
- tag with a small heart tied around the top of the Advil

Tissues: "To wipe away the tears of joy."
- travel size tissues (I got mine at Michael's in the bridal section)
- tag tied on around middle of tissues

Color swabs: "Decisions, decisions... What color should we choose?"
- paint color samples (I went to Home Depot and picked out a few colors my fiance and I were deciding between for the wedding)
- hole punch into tag and paint color samples and tie together with ribbon

The dress: "Help me find my perfect dress!"
- lace fabric (Joann Fabric's in the ribbon section they have lace ribbon that I cut a small piece and tore a small hole to put the ribbon through
- printed out my favorite wedding dress designer
- printed out a picture of a dress style I loved (by my faborite designer) and taped to card stock to make it sturdier
- hole punched each tag, designer name, and dress and tied it all together

Some wine: "A toast to us"

- A small bottle of wine (found at any liquor store)

- tie tag around top of bottle

The Poem:

-Print out the poem below, and tape to card stock to make sturdier. I added some glitter paper and jewel stickers (both from Michael's scrapbooking section)

- I also included each of their names at the top of the card stock using stickers (found at Michae'ls in scrapbooking section to personalize them)

All put together:

I arranged all the items in a basket then gave to each bridesmaid! They all cried at the excitement of sharing my special day with me and the thought that went into the baskets.
